Hake with Crisp Sweet Garlic and Olive Oil

Prep time: 5 minutes

Cooking time: 7 minutes

Ingredients

  • 4 x 100g hake steaks
  • 2tbsp Look Out Here I Come garlic olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, very finely sliced
  • 2tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • Large handful of fresh flat leaf parsley, finely chopped

The method

Heat the Look Out Here I Come garlic olive oil in a heavy based frying pan until it’s very hot. Season the steaks with a light sprinkling of sea salt and black pepper. Lay the fish in the pan and fry for 1-2 minutes, then add the garlic. Keep frying until the garlic is golden brown.

With the garlic still in the pan, turn the fish after 3-4 minutes and cook for 3 minutes on the other side. Make sure the garlic doesn’t burn. Remove the fish from the pan to a serving plate.

With the pan off the heat, add the extra virgin olive oil and a pinch of sea salt to the garlic and juices left in the pan. The residual heat of the pan will be sufficient to warm it all through so there’s no need to put it back on the heat. Add the lemon juice, then the parsley, and give it all a good stir.

Spoon the garlic and juices from the pan over the top of the hake and serve.
